The NC Bariatric Project is a UNC study to learn about changes in hormones that affect weight, eating behaviors, stress, and weight loss outcomes before and after your weight loss surgery.
Participants will complete an anonymous online survey (about 1 to 1.5 hours time) before and after the weight loss surgery. Participation also involves a 30-minute in-person health assessment at the UNC Biobehavioral Laboratory or the participants' homes. The assessment includes measuring your height, weight, waist and hip circumferences, and blood pressure. We will also collect a blood sample to test your metabolic hormone and lipid levels.
Up to $200 Amazon gift cards ($100 at each time after the in-person assessment), Results of your height, weight, waist/hip circumferences, blood pressure, fasting metabolic and lipid hormones levels.
